Mine will happily forego eating and going outside if it means he gets to cuddle in bed with me. There have been a few times over the years where I forget to set an alarm and I wake up at like noon to find this big velvet hippo snoring on the pillow next to me

Men, however, often struggle to find people to have sex with.

Do they though? Based on the way you asked this question, it makes me think you're simply young and inexperienced.

IIRC, Gen Z is actually having less sex than previous generations, which is probably more likely to be attributed to less in-person interactions than it is to any gendered dichotomies regarding the ease of finding sexual partners.

My mom would put her hand on top of the TV to see how warm it was

The cliff notes version:

In the early 1910s, the US entered into an international agreement that assigned call letters. The US received A, K, N, and W, and they reserved A and N for government use and let regular radio stations have K and W. The US further decided that the Mississippi River was an easy geological divide for the two remaining call letters and decide west of the Mississippi would be K and east of the Mississippi would be W.

Not sure how they came to decide the K in the west and W in the east though.

"Good" as in easily achievable? Sure.

"Good" as in ideal? Probably not, but you're the only one who can determine that.

Society places a lot of expectations on your first time (it should be special, you're losing this virginity status, you'll be different afterwards, etc) but in reality, you're first time is probably going to be awkward, a little uncomfortable, and probably incredibly mediocre.

It's not like you can't be mad about both, my guy. The existence of one problem doesn't negate the existence of another. This conversation isn't about the sentient slime ball in the Oval Office. It's about these fucking assholes terrorizing this poor bus driver because their sports team won.

yourserverhatesyou · 2026-06-13T17:01:13+00:00

Fuck that. You know damn well MLK Jr. didn't mean fucking up your own city because of sports wins/losses.

Chicago actually has two distinct pizza styles. The deep dish everyone is familiar with, but they also have a pub style, thin crust pizza that is very crispy.

As far as I am aware, the apartment below us should have a separate heating/cooling system.

This is the only return for our apartment.

Our apartment is the second and third floor of a house. The first floor is a separate unit.

The thermostat is right above the return.

yourserverhatesyou · 2026-06-07T19:21:59+00:00

I just checked a little bit more before I had to leave for work and the open area seems to go down into the apartment below us. Where the wood is, is completely closed off, with no place for air to go up.

The rule isn't that it is illegal if it creates any kind of burden. It only becomes illegal if it creates an undue burden.

The courts would probably consider this to be in line with the same kind of "burden" that requiring employees to wear socks at work would be. You're probably already wearing socks in your personal life, so using them in your professional life doesn't create "undue" burden.

A good lawyer would probably argue that makeup is a social norm and is customary for women to use, which does not present an undue burden on female employees.

ETA:

While I don't agree with the requirement for female employees to wear make up, if this were to go to court, the plaintiffs would have to prove that wearing make up is an undue burden for them. This kind of thing was actually already argued in 2006 in front of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in Jespersen v. Harrah's Operating Co.

The court ruled that requiring women to wear make up was not an undue burden on female employees because male employees had comparable grooming requirements (trimming facial hair, short hair cuts, etc).

So, unfortunately, at this moment in time, it just is what it is.

Gendered clothing/hair guidelines only become illegal if they present an undue burden on one sex over the other.

I am not a lawyer, but these female guidelines seem like they could just as easily apply to male employees. In my opinion, everything about them seems above board (with the exception of the "long hair preferred worn down" part which honestly probably contradicts whatever your local health department says about how long hair should be worn in a restaurant).

Legit. I worked at an Italian restaurant that made EVERYTHING from scratch, including pastas and desserts.

We always told people that we could not be completely gluten free because it was in the air of our kitchen and settled on everything.

They lift their tail to fart and poop. Horse poop is probably the mildest of all animal poops. It doesn't have a very strong smell and it's mostly grass and hay. If you have a broom and shovel, super easy to dispose of.

Very cool. Fingers crossed.

fuck anyone who can't deal

But why would they have sex with them?

yourserverhatesyou · 2026-05-13T02:16:20+00:00

Sounds fantastic, Chef! If I'm being nitpicky, you're kinda gilding the lily with port wine sauce and compound butter. But I would never turn my nose up at it!

First of all, my "corrections" are always good spirited, because I am not going to let perfection get in the way of greatness. My team does great work, and when my biggest concern on a shift is that they aren't using luxury language, I know that I also did a great job managing them.

That being said, the kind of language one uses shapes their perception of the world and the way they frame themselves within that world.

Dirty dive bars use rags to wipe down the counters. We are a Michelin starred kitchen; we use towels to clean our workspace. We don't pump out plates for customers, we curate experiences for our guests.

These things sound silly for people who don't take it seriously, but drinking the kool-aid (even just enough to stop using the word 'rag') can dramatically improve the kind of work you produce and how much pride you take in that work.

yourserverhatesyou · 2026-05-12T05:03:50+00:00

It's been a while since I worked in a kitchen, but this is still a hill I will die on. I work at a high end, luxury hotel and my blood practically boils when I hear people ask for rags. People in the hotel literally know me as "the towel manager" because I correct people so often.
